Hey all, just "upgraded" from a Note4 to the OP5.
I was mostly expecting this to happen, but still it disappointed me; the new handset doesn't connect to my Kenwood car h/u via USB. It's a Kenwood X500. I seem to have read that Android 7+ has a lot of issues with usb audio out. I stream almost all my music via google music, so something like usb audio player won't work for me (I haven't tried it).
I tried playing with the USB setting in developer options, but that didn't do anything for me. USB debugging on/off made no difference. Selecting USB mode from the notification drop down didn't change anything. Sometimes it would outright "no device", but usually it just sat there at "reading device". I get the "Open Kenwood blah blah app?" message when I plug in initially, but selecting yes doesn't launch the app, selecting cancel doesn't do anything. Manually opening the app both before and after plugging the phone in results in the same non-connection.
My last 3 phones did, obviously the Note4(TW), a S6(TW), and the Nexus 5(stock/AOSP).
On my last 2 Samsung TW phones, I'd plug in, the notification would appear. I'd ignore the first one and it would go away after 2 seconds, then a second later the same message would come back up. I could click cancel or hit the back button on the second one, and I'd be in streaming mode, or what the deck calls "hands mode". I could then play whatever music from whatever app I wanted.
I'm currently in the process of flashing a AOSP based ROM to see if it'll help, but wondering if anyone has any help on the topic. Yes yes, bluetooth this, bluetooth that.. bluetooth sounds terrible even with aptX.
Thanks for any kind of help.
For the record, the latest LineageOS reacts the same.
I may have screwed up by flashing a new firmware for the deck, I have to do some research and see if I can find older versions and flash some others.

I know that this question belong in the relevant development forums, but I'm too new to post there.
Bell Canada S4 and after running TW 4.2.2 decided that I wanted to try Kitkat.
Started with the "Gummy" rom and install was fine. Worked well as a daily driver except for Bluetooth with my car (a 2012 Golf TDI). Every 5 minutes or so I will see the car display telling me the phone has been disconnected and then a minute later it reconnects. It would also disconnect mid-call. After some random time of doing this, the Bluetooth will "lock" in the turning on stage. By that I mean that if you go to the Bluetooth settings, it will say Bluetooth is turning on, and never go anywhere or connect. The only way to reset it was to restart the phone. If I was sitting in the car and working with it when it disconnected, I would see a message "Bluetooth Share has stopped" on the phone
Similar experience with Dandriod. Except that instead of locking up trying to turn on Bluetooth, the phone will reboot.
Anybody have any suggestions on where to look? And yes I clean flashed the ROMs, with a wipe cache/davlik after install. I'm liking 4.4 overall, but I need Bluetooth working consistently. The fine for driving with a phone in your hand is something I don't want to pay for.
So I recently got a new truck which has the ability to stream audio over bluetooth. I LOVE this. However, I'm also being driven to the brink of insanity. First my stock "music" app starts playing automatically and it's usually a ringtone. I have to manually stop it everytime this happens. At first I noticed it would happen once it would connect to bluetooth. Now I notice if I take a call or place a call via bluetooth, it starts up again.
My next step was to try and kill the app via tasker anytime I connected to bluetooth. I also tried killing the app everytime the phone went idle. Fail!
I installed PowerAmp and tried all the same. The only thing that changed was poweramp started up on a different ringtone.
I rooted my phone and tried tasker with a task-kill plug in. Even set it to the harshest setting. The tasks worked, but there would either be a time delay or I haven't been able to meet all the conditions that trigger the app to start up.
I've checked the settings in my car. Nothing seems to be able to control a signal that I'm guessing is being sent to my phone from the car to autostart music.
I haven't tested this yet but I purchased titanium backup and have put the Music and PowerAmp apps on FREEZE. My guess is some other app is going to fire up in attempt to respond to whatever signal is being sent from my car.
So, my next logical question, from a soon to be highly illogical insane person...HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP?????? lol. Please help me for the love of all things holy and unholy!

I had a similar issue and found forum recommendations to try Bluetooth Connect & Stop Play from the Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cp2.bluetooth.connect.and.stop.play&hl=en Does that help?
I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
i all
I have a LG G watch R, i have had this around 10 months, its paired with my Nexus 5.
Over the past year there has been a few occasions where suddenly the "mute phone alerts and calls" option has suddenly stopped working! *Half way through the day all of a sudden id still get the message on my watch but my phone would make a noise too!
Usually i fixed this by uni stalling android wear, resetting the watch back to factory setting and re pairing them..this usually solved the issue until next time....however!
This time it happened again and no matter what i do it wont work! i have the option to mute phone call and alerts but the phone still makes a noise and is not muted! when i toggle the volume bar it used to say before "muted by android wear" but now it does not.
My phone was updated to android 6.0 last week but for the past week its been fine so i doubt it related to that as like i said its done this before on lollipop.
Few more things to note that may be related, if i swipe down in my notifications box it used to say "android wear connected" but thats no longer there, and if i go into the watch and go into settings and bluetooth devices it does not say anything it just says scanning for nearby devices, and i notced once it said nexus 5 disconcerted??
I must stress that i am connected to my phone as all my notifications come through on my watch fine.
Anyone had this or know a fix?
Thanks

Did you find a solution?
Same problem here. I have moto x play (no developer edition) unlocked bootloader/rooted/lollipop 5.1 and LG G watch R.
In my case it seems related to Moto Display (Motorola'app similar to ambient display). If I disable it, mute comes back.
I tried to uninstall android wear app, and then installing 1.3 version. No fix.
On reddit I read that it should be the last update of Google play service instead: user restored his phone fixing the problem. I tried to uninstall play service (no factory reset)...no fix
EDIT: Ok I have just found a middle-solution. I downloaded a module for Xposed (True silent Mode), after activation you will not able to receive any vibrations or sounds on your phone, but you'll receive a vibration on your watch instead. It's similar to android wear function, the difference is if you disconnect your watch you have to disable the silent mode on your phone manually. Hoping Google (or Motorola in my case) fixes it soon in the meantime...
Looks like we are not alone: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/android-wear/mute
https://productforums.google.com/fo...context-place=topicsearchin/android-wear/mute
I see other reports and see the issue myself where android wear often says that the watch isn't connected anymore while the watch says it is. And voice commands etc. on the watch still works (I guess they go directly through GMS not involving the android wear app itself).
Maybe there is a bug between android wear and the detection of the connected watch that keeps thinking android wear that no watch is connected and then not muting the notifications on the phone.
Do you have the cloud sync enabled? It's in "privacy & personal data". I have.
Hi still have the same issue, and yes my watch thinks it's not connected also
I have tried both cloud synced and un synced
Try putting your watch on charge, then taking it off
It worked for me, you will notice when on charge the ph is connected but notifications are not muted
I think the ph must think the watch is charging...
The latest wear app version fixed it for me.

Hi all,
My LG V20 is my first Android phone. I got it for a specific app (Drone controller) and to just give it a try and see what apps I am missing out on. I am having some problems figuring out how to accomplish a few things with the Android OS.
How do I prevent notifications from apps and the OS and screen timeouts from interrupting Maps while driving? I set the destination on the Map app and then plugged it into the charger in my car. It immediately popped up a "slow charging" notification that took the phone to the lock screen. I had to enter my PIN to unlock it. I then got an email that also switched to the lock screen. I realize that I can disable notifications on the lock screen but there must be a way to prevent this when running a specific app like Maps. The screen then timed out and I was unable to see the map.
Windows 10 Mobile has none of these problems. Notifications show up as a temporary banner and then go away. My Android phone will not retain my Screen Timeout setting. It constantly reverts to 30 sec. I am thinking this may be due to an Exchange account for work, but again, this did not happen on the Windows Phone. It is sad to see that the Windows Mobile platform has not succeeded. I think it is far superior in so many ways.
I have been trying to use Widgets to simulate the functionality that Live Tiles provides on the Windows Phone. So far, I am quite disappointed.
I have found that all phone sounds sometimes stop when I play music using the Groove app, even if I kill the app. I have to restart the phone to get them back.
Cortana on Windows 10 Mobile is much more powerful when connected to my car. You can "Call Cortana" and have all of her capabilities available by voice commands. I tried the Android Auto app but it is pretty much useless.
I still have the Lumia 950 and will probably swap the SIM between these phones until I can solve some of these issues.
Frequently it says that Fingerprint unlock is unavailable at random times. Why?

There is Something called "Do not disturb". You can access it by swiping down the status bar and it is found in the quicktools. Do a long press to configure it and it should block any notification from any other apps unless you whitelist the the app you want. After you properly configure it, it just take 1 press on the quicktool "do not disturb" to stop receiving popups notifications from other apps. If You car happens to have bluetooth or you have an fm transmitter(with bluetooth) you can activate smart lockscreen so that the device remains unlock as long as you are paired to the bluetooth (at least that's what i do because that feature is AMAZING! hands down to LG LOL)

I highly doubt that an Exchange account is the one causing the Screen timeout to go back to 30. Considering i have 2 gmails account, 1 hotmail account, and 1 account from my college all in the same V20. However, i just changed my screen time out to 2 min, 1 min, and 15 sec, and in all of them, i rebooted the phone, and my changes remain applied. Which leads me to believe that then there might be an app that you have installed that messes with the screen time out of the phone.
I have been trying to use Widgets to simulate the functionality that Live Tiles provides on the Windows Phone. So far, I am quite disappointed.
In androids we have something called launchers. and you will be amazed that you can simulate even windows 10 with such launcher. Now, for "x" and "y" reasons, youw will never get exactly what you want from the lumia to be on android. However, these launchers can help you to get as closer experience to windows as possible. Go to the playstore and type windows 10 launcher (for example). See if you like what they offer. Also, sometimes you have to find the right widgets for you, there are widgets that are animated, there are others that dont. Etc... Android is pretty much a world full of customizations for which you will have to do some digging into the playstore, settings, among other things.
I have found that all phone sounds sometimes stop when I play music using the Groove app, even if I kill the app. I have to restart the phone to get them back.
Now that's strange. My phone lowers the volume of the music app and makes the volume of the notification up so that i know i have a notification.
Cortana on Windows 10 Mobile is much more powerful when connected to my car. You can "Call Cortana" and have all of her capabilities available by voice commands. I tried the Android Auto app but it is pretty much useless.
Android uses google now. or the newest version Google Assistant for the LG V20 and other androids. After you configure the phone to use google you can even change the music when the screen is off by just saying "okay google next song", or do a call, or send a message, or look for a place and take you there, or turn on flashlight, or wifi or bluetooth, or even try the following. Ask google to sing you a song LOL you will love it, or ask for an uber. Google also allows you to wake up your locked device with your voice.
I still have the Lumia 950 and will probably swap the SIM between these phones until I can solve some of these issues.

Did you set up the fingerprint? if not that's weird, if you did then it still weird. Unless... you are pressing the power button in the back by mistake with your hand and not with the exact finger you unlock it with. Also, the power button has a plastic if it is brand new, i dont know if that does affect or not. I will look further into that

Lots of good information overall. Not the OP, but I'm in a similar boat. I got an LG K20, but it seems to work even worse than the V20, which I was considering switching to.
The biggest issue I'm having with switching from Windows Phone to Android is, Google Now is "OK", but Cortana is superior in many ways, especially on Windows Mobile. Google Now doesn't sync with my PC like Cortana does, and since I already use Cortana on my PC, there's really no substitute. I can use "Hey Cortana" when the app is open for hands free in my car, but I have to keep the app open in order to do so. It is helpful to know that I can keep the device unlocked while bluetooth is connected. That was a frustration with trying to use it in the car with my headset.

Why do you need to sync your phone with your pc? I mean whwt for specifically? Lets remember that google is not part of windows nor windows part of google. So 2 big different companies with practically speaking 2 entirely different points.
I have a 950 and I sympathize. I love wm10, but it doesn't have any apps. If Microsoft can fork in android so we can use the play store or sideload apps easily, then that would help tremendously. Sad thing is, they tried that and abandoned it. Now the us has less than 1% wm10 market. I love the 950 dam it. And none of the wm10 themes are worth a damn lol

welcome to the dark side. we've got cookies. (as they always say).
How do I prevent notifications from apps and the OS and screen timeouts from interrupting Maps while driving?
I'm surprised with the question. Because normally, the notifications only appears on the 2nd screen (small screen on top) and would not disturb your map.
I set the destination on the Map app and then plugged it into the charger in my car. It immediately popped up a "slow charging" notification that took the phone to the lock screen. I had to enter my PIN to unlock it. I then got an email that also switched to the lock screen. I realize that I can disable notifications on the lock screen but there must be a way to prevent this when running a specific app like Maps. The screen then timed out and I was unable to see the map.
one way to do is that you need to turn on "Stay awake" in the "Developers Options". The setting will make the phone screen always on while it is plugged in to a charger. Go to "Settings > Developer Options" to turn it on. In case if you cannot find the "Developer Options" in the "Settings", you need to "Settings > About Phone > common > Software Info" and tap the "Build number" 5 times. that will enable the "Developer Options" in the Setting menu.
Windows 10 Mobile has none of these problems. Notifications show up as a temporary banner and then go away. My Android phone will not retain my Screen Timeout setting. It constantly reverts to 30 sec. I am thinking this may be due to an Exchange account for work, but again, this did not happen on the Windows Phone.

well, that's quite strange coz it never happened to me. My screen timeout is 1 min and it always stays there.
I have been trying to use Widgets to simulate the functionality that Live Tiles provides on the Windows Phone. So far, I am quite disappointed.
Well, TBH, android users don't interested in LiveTiles much. (and it suck the battery a lot)
I have found that all phone sounds sometimes stop when I play music using the Groove app, even if I kill the app. I have to restart the phone to get them back.
Groove app? Do you mean the stock music app of LG V20? AFAIK, we don't have Microsoft Groove music player here. Maybe this issue has to do with the app. Pls try the stock "Music" player or Google "Play Music".
Cortana on Windows 10 Mobile is much more powerful when connected to my car. You can "Call Cortana" and have all of her capabilities available by voice commands. I tried the Android Auto app but it is pretty much useless.
Well, all u need to say is "OK Google"
I still have the Lumia 950 and will probably swap the SIM between these phones until I can solve some of these issues.
Frequently it says that Fingerprint unlock is unavailable at random times. Why?
I think it shows up when the phone cannot detect the fingerprint sensor. It should only happen when you just boot the phone (for some security reasons). The subsequent screen on/off shouldn't prevent you to use fingerprint sensor. if that happened, I'd suggest you to return the handset to LG.

Yes, must have bug fix as 330Mb download. Updated, all good (no mods)
Is the haptic feedback on opening recents menu new? Or just stronger than before?
Is there a setting I'm not seeing to change it?

Anyone else's Bluetooth totally screwed up after update? After update, Bluetooth turns on by itself, won't add new devices, and won't auto connect to devices?

Mine has been pretty flaky as well. It seems to connect most of the time, but if I call with my android auto head unit, even though it says it's using bluetooth, the sound still comes out of the speakers. Sometimes a toggle of the bluetooth switch fixes it, sometimes it needs a reboot. I may factory reset and see if it clears up.

I don't have problem with the Bluetooth.
Using my Sony ch700n without a problem..
Mmm... I'll be waiting for more feedback before applying the update. Hope it's just specific issue with device because I use BT every day...
Still haven't been able to fix Bluetooth issues. First I reset all the network settings. Not fixed. Then I factory reset without restore. No fix. Finally factory reset with restore. No fix. Contacted support last night with no answer yet. Will have to resort to back up phone until there is a solution.

Nope, all good here. How did you take the update, ota or fastboot?
At this point my Bluetooth is behaving normally. All though I never have had any of the previous Bluetooth or wifi issues people have posted about. Totally stock locked bootloader with February update.
As of this Monday Miracast on my PH-1 is totally flakey. Since it uses Bluetooth I guess this is part of the update bug. The problem I'm getting is casting crapping out, for no reason, rotating the phone, or just launching the app that I want to cast. Any possible fixes?

I can't get my PH1 to connect via BT to my Pioneer A.A H/U at all...... not sure what the issue is.
I factory reset and still having issues as well, I'm completely stock with locked bootloader. Only real Bluetooth issue I have is phone calls going through my phone speakers even though it says it's using Bluetooth, audio for music and podcasts is fine. Very strange

I'm kind of wondering if it has something to do with my Wear OS watch being connected. May have to disable it for a day and see if it makes a difference. Worked perfectly before the update though.
Edit: I played a little. If I turn off Bluetooth on my watch, then pair with my Bluetooth headphones calls work normally, if I connect to the buds while connected to the watch, no-go. Very odd as well is that the watch won't connect then while connected to the buds, once I disconnect them, it connects fine. I'll try with my truck at lunch and see if I can repeat this there.
mine seems do not have the Bluetooth issue.
new update seem to be more aggressive on turning off nfc . in the past, i do not have to wake on phone to 'tap' (as a smart card) on chargepoint ev charger. now i have to at least wake up phone to do so.
i noticed on essential website. the OTA file for February is only Open Market. the others have said Alll. Whats the difference anyone know.
After I have installing the update patch, the usage of battery is a bit faster than before. The sot drop from 4 hours to 2 and a half hours. Is there getting The same issue?
